Hi, question I think you've answered before, but what nebula do we see Crowley creating in the first scene of season 2? Thanks!

Hiya! :) Here. No sure if we identified more :).

Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula in the Serpens constellation,

Horsehead Nebula in the Orion constellation

I don't think people realize just how involved Crowley was in the nebulae creations. Just in the series, we have three whole references to three different nebulae.

Eta Carinae Nebula:

Pillars of creation, Eagle Nebula:

Horsehead nebula:

I know it's no surprise that he was involved, but people need to realize just how many nebulae he "worked very closely with upstairs" on.

Dark horses, revisited.

I was typing up a list tonight and something smacked me in the face.

If you haven't read @vidavalor's post about label on the wine bottle Crowley drinks from in the "Smitten" scene, read it first. They talk about all the horses that appear in S2. There is a red horse on the wine bottle, which refers us to to the relatively peaceful pre-war year of 1938, the dark horse statue in the shop that hold Crowley's sunglasses, Aziraphale is called a dark horse by Nina, and Jane Austin is Crowley's dark horse. And we may have missed out on more horses by not getting our wild west minisode.

Well, not all horses, I realised - we have missed one of the "dark horses," and its another direct reference to Crowley. Remember when Crowley does his infiltration of Heaven with Muriel, and he gets caught by Saraqael? They give us a quick call-back that they, too, once knew knew him as an angel.

Aaaaah! Now I wouldn't be a good amateur astronomer if I didn't know what that was! Of course I do, I just didn't put it next to all the other "dark horses" did I? Lets do that.

That's it, that's called a dark nebula, a big lot of dust and gas blocking off any light behind it. You've most likely seen this one before, it's quite famous.

Any thoughts on how this one fits in with the Starmaker, @vidavalor?

Oh, and I reckon we should add the Bentley in as the last dark horse, as it's Crowley's modern day steed, after all.

SPACEMAS DAY 1 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

What a better way to start than with one of the faves!!

Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is around 1,500 light-years away, embedded in the vast Orion cloud complex and is sculpted by stellar winds and radiation. About 5 light-years "tall," the dark interstellar cloud, is cataloged as Barnard 33, is a star forming region. It is visible only because its dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. To the lower left of the image there is a contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star. The featured gorgeous color image combines both narrowband and broadband images recorded using several different telescopes.

Technically not fictional or a horse but don't you think it's beautiful for humans to look far out into space and see a cloud of cosmic matter and think to themselves "that looks like my friend the horse" because no matter where you go you will always remember what you love

The final collection of all my “space objects as sea creatures” paintings! This is mainly what I’ve been working on the past few weeks so that’s why art’s been so slow :3
